350: Deterring villains

A torrent of Law information, far more vast, scorching, and violent than the previous Gengjin fragments, flooded into Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness! The primordial azure lotus dao embryo shone brilliantly, and the area representing 'Fire' on the lotus leaves was instantly lit up. Countless Profound Truths regarding flame eruptions, destruction, high temperatures, and melting were rapidly analyzed, absorbed, and integrated into the Chaos system! His understanding of 'Fire' leaped across several levels in an instant!

"Third Brother!!!" Dao Monarch of the Stars' eyes nearly split from their sockets as he watched the Lava Giant be consumed until not even dregs remained. A towering rage and bone-chilling cold welled up in his heart! This Lin Yuan... was too terrifying! With a casual gesture, he had actually insta-killed a top-tier Dao Monarch whose system was beginning to take shape!

The Withered Old Man's face was also deathly pale. His Bone Demon Claws had been easily severed and destroyed, and his Death Qi had been assimilated, causing him to feel an instinctive fear toward the power of 'Deathly Annihilation' that Lin Yuan controlled!

The two looked at each other, seeing the shock and desire to retreat in each other's eyes. Even if a treasure was good, one had to have a life to enjoy it!

"Go!" Dao Monarch of the Stars did not hesitate. The Star Orbit Compass erupted with piercing starlight, enveloping him as he prepared to tear through space and flee!

The Withered Old Man directly transformed into a streak of foul blood light, merging into the sea of blood beneath his feet. The blood sea churned as it prepared to sink into the Void Realm!

"Wanting to leave now? Too late!" Lin Yuan's cold voice sounded like a pronouncement from the God of Death.

He had just devoured the Lava Giant and gained a vast comprehension of the Fire Phase. The Chaos power within his body was surging and roaring, needing an outlet! He slammed his hands together. In his Sea of Consciousness, the primordial azure lotus dao embryo swayed violently as the newly absorbed Fire Phase Profound Truths fused frantically with his own Great Dao of Void Ruin!

"Chaos · Return to Ruin · World Incineration!"

A terrifying energy sphere of indescribable color, inside which countless worlds seemed to burn in flames and then be annihilated in the Return to Ruin, instantly condensed in Lin Yuan's palm! The destructive fluctuations it emitted caused even the Foundations of the stable Myriad Dao Outpost to tremble! The core of the energy sphere was an absolute Return to Ruin Singularity, while its outer layer was the Chaos Fire that incinerated all things!

Lin Yuan pushed forward with both hands!

That destructive energy sphere shot out silently, its speed surpassing the distance of space. It instantly appeared in front of the escape paths of the Dao Monarch of the Stars and the Withered Old Man, and then... it exploded with a bang!

There was no deafening roar, only an annihilation where all things returned to deathly silence!

A massive Domain of absolute nothingness, its edges flowing with Chaos Fire and gui xu runes, instantly expanded. It enveloped and swallowed the starlight of the Dao Monarch of the Stars and the foul blood sea of the Withered Old Man, along with that patch of space itself!

"No—!!!"

The Dao Monarch of the Stars only had time to let out a desperate roar before his protective starlight was snuffed out like a candle flame. His body turned to fly ash inch by inch under the burning and annihilation of the Chaos Return to Ruin fire!

The Withered Old Man didn't even have time to scream. The foul blood sea was instantly evaporated, and countless resentful Souls wailed as they dissipated. His true body was exposed in the annihilation Domain, crumbling rapidly like a weathered sand sculpture!

Two even more massive, pure, and profound torrents of Law fragments flooded into his Sea of Consciousness! The vast pull of the stars, the trajectories of their fall; the erosion of silence, the wailing of dead Souls... countless new insights impacted Lin Yuan's perception. On the primordial azure lotus dao embryo, the areas representing 'Stars' and 'Death' were rapidly lit up and expanded, intertwining with the existing 'Fire Phase', 'Metal Phase', and 'Space Phase'. This made the entire Chaos system more substantial and three-dimensional! Within that sealed primordial chaos universe prototype, the orbital paths of the stars became clearer, and the Underworld region representing death also solidified a bit more!

The Myriad Dao Outpost fell into a deathly silence. Whether it was the Star Scar Guards or the Life Watchers, they all looked with adoration at the figure floating above the main fortress like a Chaos Demon God. Three powerful Dao Monarchs, capable of running rampant in this new divine Domain, were like clay chickens and pottery dogs before him, turning to ash in the flick of a finger!

Lin Yuan slowly withdrew his stance, feeling the surging Chaos power and the exploding insights of the myriad Daos within him. His gaze swept over the void that had been briefly 'purified' by the Chaos Return to Ruin fire, finally landing deeper into the Broken Continent Triangle, the core area where space was most chaotic and Law fluctuations were most miscellaneous.

Lin Yuan's figure stood like a pillar holding up the sky at the edge of the annihilation Domain where the Chaos Return to Ruin fire was slowly dissipating. That terrifying strike that incinerated three powerful Dao Monarchs not only cleared the obstacles before him but also acted like an invisible heavy hammer, slamming into the hearts of all those lurking in the chaotic regions coveting the 'great dao origin flow'!

Silence enveloped this chaotic area. The violent Chaos currents seemed to stagnate because of it. Most of the prying eyes hidden in the spatial layers and the shadows of star remnants instantly withdrew, leaving only deep fear and wariness. The name Lin Yuan, Lord of Chaos Origin City, along with his overbearing and peerless combat power, would be deeply etched into the Soul of every living being who witnessed this battle.

"Star Scar Guards, clear the battlefield and reinforce the barriers. Anyone who approaches within a hundred miles of the outpost, kill them without warning!" Lin Yuan's cold voice broke the silence, carrying an unquestionable iron-blooded will. Below, the Star Scar Guards responded in unison, their killing intent growing even stronger as they threw themselves into the construction with even more rapid movements. With Lin Yuan presiding over it, the Myriad Dao Outpost was like a monolith that no one dared to touch easily again.

Lin Yuan's gaze, however, had already pierced through the chaotic void, firmly locking onto the core of the Broken Continent Triangle, where the spatial structure was like a boiling furnace—that was the final location pointed to by the spatial coordinates of the 'great dao origin flow'! The half-map and the moon void stone in his hand were currently emitting a strong resonance, their emerald and dark yellow lights intertwining and pointing in the same direction, as if pulled by countless invisible threads.

"It's time to go in," Lin Yuan whispered to himself. However, he did not set off immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged atop the main fortress, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing and digest the fragments of stars, lava, and silence he had absorbed.

The primordial azure lotus dao embryo swayed in his Sea of Consciousness, its clear light flowing as it accelerated the refining of the incoming Great Dao fragments. The vast trajectories of the stars merged into the Universe prototype, the destructive fire of the lava was embraced by Chaos and turned into a scorching 'Fire Phase' Foundation, and the erosive power of life-and-death silence settled into the profound depth of the 'Death Phase'. His Chaos system was filling up at high speed, and his Origin Power was steadily recovering and condensing.
